| 141.1 |
Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you. |
| 141.2 |
Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice. |
| 141.3 |
Set a watch, Yahweh, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips. |
| 141.4 |
Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies. |
| 141.5 |
Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds. |
| 141.6 |
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken. |
| 141.7 |
“As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.” |
| 141.8 |
For my eyes are on you, Yahweh, the Lord. In you, I take refuge. Don’t leave my soul destitute. |
| 141.9 |
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity. |
| 141.10 |
Let the wicked fall together into their own nets, while I pass by. |
